"I'd Just as soon be ditched as
get left, after the way those fellows
have treated me-" responded Jim.
"Well, to make long story short,
the train got to st. Helen about 11:3O
that night. Everything was dark at
the depot not light in the little
hamlet.
"Jim and his wife foundered
through the mud, up to Stephens
door. Rap, rap. No answer. More
knocking. Then came a voice:
"'Who's there? What do you
want2
"'It's me. I'm Jim Turner. I've
come up here to complete that sale.
Open the door,"
"'I don't want to see you at all.
1 won't make the trade"
IT warn you that 1 have come
here to make a legal tender in the
time of the contract. You will have
to take the consequences in the
courts of refusing"
"Then the man weakened and
opened the door. Jim went into
the front room with his wife, open
ed the gripsack, and put the bun
dies of bank notes on the table. 1t
was now ten minutes of midnight.
"I can't count that money in an
hour" said the man.
"You needn't said Jim "it is
counted all ready, and there's the
certificates
"'The man wouldn't take the
money at first, but he saw that Jim
had the winning cards, and he gave
i'll and signed the papers. A few
minutes afterward the Turner's were
back in the car and speeding to Bay
City, where they took breakfast.
The property has been sold since,
and Jim made half million out
of it.

Not with soul by tempests shaken
While tossing on Life's troubled sea;
Not with heart oppressed, forsaken,
Come l, o gracious Lord, to Thee;
No load of care, no hidden grief
Moves me to seek Thy kind relief.
Nay, It's the mercies that surround me,
The sunbeams bright, the blossoms fair
These loving hearts see around,me,
This wish fulfilled, that answered
prayer,
Bright memories and hopes more sweet
These bring me 10 Thy sacred feet.
ask not now for strength in sorrow
Or comfort for an aching heart,
In fear lest Thou should'st bid tomorrow
These blessings suddenly depart;
All no the grace for which pray
Is to hear joy ar'ght to-day.
To take each seperate gift or pleasure
As token of that tender care,
Which can never fully measure,
Yet know surrounds me everywhere,
And, though my sunshine turn to night,
Still guides my wavering steps Alright.
o Father, let no bliss Thou sendest,
Fill utterly this wayward heart
And while take the joy Thou lendest
Make me content Herewith to part,
When Thou shalt bid me yield to Thee
E'en that which choicest seems to me;
And keep before my spirit ever
The sense of my unworthiness.
For what am /, whom Thou dost meyer
Forget TO comfort and to bless!
Yes, let me always humbled be
BY each bright gift Thou sendest me.

A MARBLE LOVE.

Dorothea Deane had one daugh-
ter, a soft-eyed, brown-haired little
thing called Dea, who was born a
few weeks after her father died and
whom she was very proud of in her
cold-blooded way.
Dea was q born singer and often
in the evening her rich, sweet voice
could be heard as she drove the
COWS home or when she churned in
the dairy. AS the girl grew older
her voice became famous through
out the country, and finally Doro-
thea decided that such n talent
should be cultivated and sent her
daughter abroad to study with the
best masters.
Dea returned after five years of
arduous work in her art and Nine.
Lenoir, the leader of the musical
and artistic world in New York, gave
her a reception.
AS she stood by the piano to sing
to this critical, cultured assemblage
there was not one particle Of fear on
the girls face. Her early training
had made her too purposeful and
self-sustained, and, besides, she was
too individual character to teel
any nervous tremor. As she turned
to them and began to sing a mar

tently. As she finished her song
and theclear, magnificent voice died
away, she raised her eyes and me-
this mans glance for an instant, and
the warm blood swept over her face
as she turned to receive the shower
of applause and responded to thu
people who were begging an intro
duction to her.
Nine. Lenoir made her way t
the gentleman who had so intentll
noticed Dea and eagerly

minutes later Dea was leaning o.
his arm, listening to a quiet, mani
voice that thrilled her as no othe
ever had.
"Let us go out of this heate
room," he said, and she assente
willingly.
